used to secure"its plasage tarspeedily as pos
sible.. To this-end 'we -are anx i ous to have
the members_ of Co i ngiess "bear the voice of

In order,to - affoid'"oid US_ Our friends who
mar desire to address metnerials in its favor 1
to Congress; we add 'the following outline' of
a memorial suitable for tho purpose; to be
'modified in each case to expresso the exaCt
wishes of the memorialists.
To the honorable the' Senate and House of
Representatives in CongreOa asSembled: .
•
We, the Ondersigned, citizens of—, in
the State of—,-r, most varnestly pray your
honorable body to pass the bill introdueed'into
the House .of • Representatives by the Hon:
'Edward Shinty, entitled, "A bill to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury ‘ to. deposit with'
the several Stateitbe,fouith instalment of the
deposit of the public Money directed to be
made with said States hy the act approved
Juno 23, 1836:" We most respectfully rep
-resent that we approve of. -its provisions, and
fervently desire to see them adopted.
Thehnportence of , this' movement`Will be
immediately felt by every friend, of. African
colonization.. The grand obstacle to the ben
eficial operation — of the cause, has always been
the want of sufficient funds: Though the rev.
enues of the National, combined With those of
this State. Societies, amount-to a very consid
able surn,•they dwindle to a mere trifle. -and
the ample benevolence of individual supporters
seems parsimony, when, oonipared with, the
magnitudn . of the enterprise, and tho benefits
to ourselves and the African- rate, anticipated
from its; success: :'Yet limited as it has beeri
by its dependence upon. private contributions,
it has accomplished during the first year of its
'existence, more than was effected in atentury .
by thosgreat Companies ehartered fOr, the - first
settlement of onr own land, and With this in
'
increased facilities afforded by the pending bill
the most glorious consequences might be es
,
pected. '
. AIN ady a colony has been 'established and
supported ,through trial and difficulty, on a
sickly, barbarous, and' ho'stile eoast,yntil the
dense fore4ts have given place to cities and
villages, thedciudly miasma luis yielded to a ,
salubrious atmosphere, the nations have be
become allies or citizens, and many of them
Christians, and the colonists , themselves, rely
ing upon the sympathy of the ruling.powers
of the two continents, and their own capability
Of self-government, have thrown aside the garb
of tutelage, and assumed a stationin the great
system of nations., During, eighteen months
elapsed since theist of lanuary, 1841, five
thousand, dollars hav:e been expended in the ,
purchasci of a considerable quantity of slave
coast, while over : !eight,.hundred emigrants
have been transpOrted and provided with sub=
sistence for six months after their arrival in
Liberia. • ,
From the organizationl of the American
Colonization Society doWn to the present honr
it has been the expectation of its friends that
the General and State Ghvernments would e
ventually perceiie the great nationality of the
scheme, and its intimate bearings on thevel:
fare of all the interests i of the country, and
stretch forth i strong arm to carry it forward.
It never was anticipated that individual 'benev
olence would be.sufficient to accomplish the
work. The Society was to begin it, to make
the experiment, and prove the practicability of
the scheme, by laying the foundation of a
Christian republic on the shores of A:rica; and
then the expectation has always been that the
goverrunent"would afford the nid necessary to
the enteriise to, its final - consumination.
As the bill is already very floppier in Con
gress, there is little doubt of ite l , passage, in
case its friends act promptly and energetically.
Petitions for its adoption should be immedi
ately subscribed and circulated for signature.
they canle forwarded to the Hon. .Edward
Stanley, or to the Itefiraentative in Congress
of the district whence" they emanate.

We commend the following account: of the
apPearanae, character, manners'and customs of
the Democratic candidate for the !presidency,
to the attention-of our reader& i It - is from
the - pen of an impartial writer in the Now York
herald: - • ; •
According to framise, I. have Visited Con
cord, and have seen General Pierce, the Dem
ocratic nominee for the high office of President
of the United States. Not belonging to the
Democratic party, nor to _the Whigs, nor,the
Preesoilers, and never having - seen or commu
nicated with General Pierce before,
I am in a
position to give yon an impartial description
of what I have seen and heard, and the impres
sions'nrade upon my,own mind in reffirence to
the 'best abused" man in the nation. In noth.
ing will I "extenuate, net aught set down in'
malice,".- •- _ - ' . -
Ffank Pierce, As ,personal friends call
him and their name is legion—is above the
middle height, erect, welt built, though not
very muscular, of a large, intellectual, hand
some and benevolent cast of countenance. He
is one of those men whom,- when seen once,
you will never forgot. • His factr, of
character. -Ho is forty eightyears of age, and
looks, as old as he • is, though-evidently. hale
and hearty.' :H/6 hair, which appears to -have
been ord,ginally brown, is•streaked with iron .
grey, and his-complexion is fair,- without any'
red.' When 1 first saw him; yesterday,•it was,
at the railroad depot, where he had just left
the cars,-having 'been 'to Wolf bore; on the
esqiiisite lake Winnipisseogee, with its three
hundred - and sixty-five islands,: to shOw some
friends.from the South -the weary, and to
procure theta comfortable quarters. Crowds
of strangers are every day visiting lum, on
their way to the lakes and-the White Moun
tains. He aka besieged with politiciaas
'from New York:and all quarters.
I afterwards met the 'General it his office.
He is 'a lawyer in good practice, but he is not
rich, and from his disposition is never likely to
be so: office is on the second floor of a
plain, three Story - bending, in the main street.
The Patriot newspaper office, a new; room„
and the Selectmen's chamber, are all in the I
same building.' The office is - plainly
but has n large, Well cfjosen library. His part
ner, Mr. Minot, who is-a young man, appeared I
to respect him very much. Winn I was-there,:
an immense pile of letters' and papers arrived I
for him, and among thew a letter-addressed to
him as "the - Democratic nominee for the Pres.
idency,".upon which he observed to me face
tiously that the writer thought he was so ob
scure that he could not be tinned unless with
that dthignation. He receives many carious
letters: .The paper first searched for among
the bundle wns the übiquitous New York' Her-
dd. He enjoyed:very rinanzinght Horace Gree=
ley's black mail letter- to 'falliot Wr.fts, the
nervous antidoto man. He thought it was'
the richest thing ho had-met for a long- time:
I accompanied General Piercc,at his invitation,
to the Superior Court, this being the first - day
of the term. It was opened according to cus
tom, with it-Wit-prayer by one of the elerff
, men of the city. There was a large number
of lawyers' present, this 'being the , highest
court in the State. • It is purely a court of
law, there-Woe no juries. Among the law
yers was John S, Wells, President f l f the Sen
ate, to whom I was introdueed by General
Pierce. He is n man Of gentlemanly manners,
and an amiable disposition. • • .
